Muri Beachcomber

A very relaxing holiday in one of the beachfront units. Quiet, very easy access to the beach with kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling equipment readily available. If not into the water sports bikes also available all at no cost. Breakfast delivered every day was adequate, the fresh fruit at the front desk daily was an added bonus. Free washing machine as well as the laundry powder was great. The Beachcomber is right next to the Muri night market and there’s a large number of restaurants within easy walking distance. A car is not really required as the bus stops outside the front. Friendly staff, lovely maintained grounds. Will visit again.

Our family of 6 stayed here in one Seaview unit and the garden family unit. The location is perfect, steps to the beach from the Seaview unit. We loved the kayaks and paddle boards and were out on and in the water every day. There were plenty of turtles to swim with, though not many fish. The only disappoin**ent was the pool being under repair, but I imagine it’s back in action by now. Breakfast was perfectly adequate and a welcome addition. Both units were very clean, and the staff were great. We especially liked the daily interaction with guests by Simon the manager. Would stay again

Muri Beachcomber was a great place to stay. The location was amazing, the units were comfortable and well equipped. The use of kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling gear and bikes was a great inclusion. Staff were great and the guest lounge is so handy.

Great location, great service. My wife and I stayed for about a week and couldn’t be happier with Muri Beachcomber. Each unit has a little kitchen which allowed us to store food and drinks and not have to eat out every meal. Plus there’s a little market 50 meters away where we bought what we needed. Between the resort and that little store in the Muri Night Market- it’s open Sun-Thursday and has 20-30 food booths that have everything from seafood to vegetarian meals. And if you want higher end dining, you are a short walk from the two most highly reviewed places.

We loved our stay at Muri Beachcomber! The villa was very clean, comfortable for just the two of us, and beautifully decorated. We could look out our door and see this awesome lagoon that was perfect for enjoying all kinds of water sports or just to take a swim. The villa has air conditioning located in the bedroom and we used it only at night. During the day, we opened all the window vents and just let the island breezes flow through. The Night Market is right next door, so you can literally walk next door to get your dinner three or four nights during the week. We rented a car to get around, but you would not have to do that. There is bus service all around the island, or you could also rent a scooter. If you are considering coming to Rarotonga, don't miss this place!

What a beautiful spot. Room was serviced daily & fresh towels provided. Snorkel masks, flippers & reef shoes available to use for free from front reception. Little turtles at the front of the units everyday which was so lovely. Roosters are a slight inconvenience and start about 2am but we managed to ignore them most nights. Few ants in the unit, but managed to keep them at bay by removing fresh flowers from the unit and keep everything in the fridge. The ground staff are lovely, always cleaning up or gardening. It's a nice spot & you feel very safe. Laundry services available & easy to access. Would recommend getting a scooter as not alot of parking available for a car. Overall we loved staying here.

Very pleasant location in what appears to be a tropical paradise. The apar**ent itself was to a good standard with adequate space and facilities. But, the appt was also right on the beach… this brought an unexpected noise nuisance… the nearby encircling reef brought a constant roar of noise much like a passing train, that never ended… on top of which was the constant swoosh of waves up the beach… We arrived at 10pm, and tried to get settled in , thinking the noise might be soothing and aid sleeping… but that was not to be the case, it was just intrusive… and then from approx midnight onwards, roosters started cock-a-doodling, and this went on ALL night… No sleep… exhausted… We had come here for peace and quiet and a relaxing stay… In the morning we rose to explore a little and found the chickens were free roaming all over the place… We booked the next flight home… but would have to endure one more night…

We returned to Muri Beachcomber with friends and had a fantastic time. It's got everything you need to have a thoroughly relaxing time. Night markets right next door so dinner is sorted 4 nights/week. The bus stop right out the front, great coffee across the road, little store for all your needs just a stroll and then there is the beachfront lagoon location. We will be back !!

We stayed at Muri for week one of our three week stay in the Cooks - it really didn't disappoint. As others have said, the bungalows do look a little tired (but a lot of Raro could be described as shabby chic - so don't let that put you off)! We loved our little bungalow - the staff kept it spotlessly clean and we slept really well. We met some other brits in the adjacent bungalow who were also on extended travels, and we've all kept in touch, as well as having some drinks together whilst we were there. We also had great fun using the kayaks out in the lagoon and visiting the motu. I would highly recommend these bungalows and having been all around the island on the bus (and stayed west later) the beach is really one of the best / most beautiful places to stay. If you want to self cater then the best supermarket (IMHO) is Prime Foods in Raro - this isn't the one recommended by the venue, but having visited all the spots in Avarua we found this to have the best range of fresh food (it may not be the cheapest but sourcing food in the cooks for self catering can be a challenge). We were able to light up the bbq with some prawns, sausages and asparagus, so we ate really well once we'd sourced where to find decent food!
